Hi
The Zw. format will give leading zeros, see sample code below. Whether you use just a format or convert the number to a char value depends on what you want to use it for.
data have;
infile cards;
input
value
;
value_c = put(value, z3.);
format value z3.;
cards;
1
23
123
22.1
;
proc print data=have;
run;

Is your variable numeric or character?
If numeric a format of Z5.1 might work but with an assigned decimal part ALL variables would show a decimal.
